Parvathy Thiruvothu opens up about therapy and overcoming suicidal thoughts

Actor Parvathy Thiruvothu has spoken candidly about her mental health journey, revealing how therapy helped her survive one of the darkest phases of her life and rediscover balance.

Published by Priti | January 12, 2026

In an interview withHauterrfly, Parvathy shared that while therapy turned out to be one of the best decisions of her life, the path to finding therighttherapist was painful and exhausting.

She explained that she went through several unsuccessful and distressing therapy experiences before finding a professional who treated her as a person rather than a public figure. Some therapists, she said, either didn’t understand her emotional reality or brought cultural biases into their sessions, which only made things harder.

At one point, she was even attending therapy sessions late at night with a US-based therapist, which took a toll on her mental and physical health.

Loneliness and suicidal thoughts

Parvathy revealed that there was a time when she felt deeply isolated and believed her problems were beyond anyone’s help. That emotional weight led tosuicidal thoughts, particularly aroundJanuary–February 2021.

She said that when she now looks back at photos from that period, she realises how fragile she was then — and how crucial it was that therapy finally started working for her.

🧩 Therapies that changed her life

Parvathy said she now follows a combination of therapies that have helped her heal:

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing)– to deal with trauma, shame and emotional pain stored in the body
Trauma-informed therapy– to process past experiences safely
Sex therapy– to better understand herself and rebuild emotional and physical well-being

She described EMDR aslife-changing, helping her regain inner strength and stability.

A more balanced life now

Today, Parvathy says her life feels fuller — balanced between work, friends, family and self-discovery. She believes that after turning 30, people often become more aware of who they really are and what they need from relationships and life.

On the professional front

Parvathy is known for films likeWonder Woman,Thangalaan, andHer, and she fondly remembers working with late actorIrrfan KhaninQarib Qarib Singlleas a true blessing. She has also recently wrapped shooting fori, NobodywithPrithviraj Sukumaran.
